i was thinking about 2012 and the various theories and predictions...
the Mayan long count ends. so? that just means it's time to flip the hourglass over.
if someone who never saw a calendar before picked up a 2009 calendar, would they assume the world ended on dec 31?
2012 is the end point of the long count and we begin counting in the next cycle.
as i understand it, we will have a few special alignments happening at that time. our sun is aligned with the dark rift of the milky way and a great planetary alignment within our solar system.
to me, these events would make a good marker when trying to establish a celestial cycle.
since this is a cycle, it means that these events have happened before.
i am not talking about the consequences of these events which may or may not be catastrophic. but if they ARE catastrophic, we can take comfort in knowing that life has survived it before.
Its like a year. winter spring summer fall. each season is marked by climate and biological changes in our environment.
cyclic changes are not limited to to our planet. our entire system changes over time.
every planet in the system is experiencing climate change. many planet's changes are waaaay more extreme than what we have been experiencing.
a few planets have begun to glow, others have increased brightness. venus' glow has increased 2500%
Pluto's atmosheric pressure has increased 300% even as it receeds away from the sun.
saturn's equatorial jet stream has decreased significantly and is emitting a surge of x-rays from the equator.
Mars's polar ice caps are disappearing.
an ice cap has been discovered on Mercury along with a strong and active magnetic field. Mercury has long been considered a "dead planet".
so if we can conclude that this is a systemic climate change, then we can assume that there are corresponding biological changes since plant and animal life are intertwined with celestial movements.
(hibernation, mating season, magnetic navigation, metamorphosis, blooming, leaves falling menstrual cycle.)
there are theories that suggest that we are approaching an acceleration of evolution. it is also suggested that these celestial cycles are the cause of evolutionary spikes such as the cambrian explosion.
thoughts?
